Maximise Your Savings This Winter
June 06, 2025
Winter is coming, and with it, higher energy bills. But what if you could slash your energy costs, gain independence from the grid, and even increase your property value—all while taking advantage of the new government subsidy that can save you up to $18,000?
Here at EnergySA, we’re passionate about helping South Australians save money and live more sustainably. That’s why we’re excited to share the top 5 reasons why installing a battery system with us is a smart move right now.
1. Slash Your Winter Energy Bills
Winter means longer nights and more reliance on electricity for heating and lighting. With a battery system, you can store the excess solar energy generated during the day and use it during peak evening hours when energy prices are highest. This can lead to significant savings—our customers have reported saving up to the entire amount of their energy bills with a solar and battery system.
2. Reliable Backup Power
South Australia is no stranger to power outages, especially during extreme weather. A battery system provides peace of mind, ensuring your home stays powered even when the grid goes down. Keep your lights on, your fridge running, and your family comfortable, no matter what.
3. Increase Your Property Value
Homes equipped with solar panels and battery storage are increasingly sought after. By installing a battery system now, you’re not just saving money on energy—you’re also enhancing the value of your property, making it more attractive to potential buyers in the future. According to a 2024 study by the Australian Property Institute, homes with solar and battery systems can see a property value increase of up to 4.1%, translating to an average of $30,000 for a typical South Australian home.
4. Contribute to a Greener Planet
By reducing your reliance on fossil fuels and maximising the use of clean, renewable solar energy, you’re doing your part to combat climate change. Batteries allow you to store and use more of the solar energy you generate, minimising waste and maximising sustainability. A 2025 report by the Clean Energy Council found that households with solar and battery systems can reduce their carbon emissions by up to 2.5 tonnes annually, equivalent to taking a car off the road for a year.
5. Future-Proof Your Home
Energy prices are only going one way—up. By investing in a battery system now, you’re protecting yourself against future price hikes and ensuring that your home is ready for the energy landscape of tomorrow. According to a 2025 Financial Review energy market analysis, electricity prices in South Australia are projected to rise by 15-20% over the next five years due to increasing demand and grid constraints. A battery system locks in your savings today and shields you from future cost increases.
Don’t Miss Out on the Subsidy
The government battery subsidy is a game-changer, offering up to $18,000 off! However, this subsidy is set to decrease over time, so the sooner you act, the more you save.
